December in Pictures

Us on Christmas morning! (taken with our NEW camera!)

Hey, guys!
Sorry it's been so long since you've had an update from us. I just haven't had the time to post. So this  post will just have a bunch of pictures of what we've been up to lately.
Our nephew, Cannon, on Christmas morning.

Some of our Christmas loot.


Danny is still wearing his hat that he got from our British Christmas crackers.
Our cute stockings, courtesy of my mom. I love them! :)

Fun with Cannon-man!
At my work Christmas party on 12/9. Good food!
Our yummy goodie plates!
We had fudge, pumpkin rolls, cookie bars, lemon bread and dipped pretzels.
The finished product!
Us at the lights!
Whew! Now I feel like we're somewhat caught up. We had a great Christmas and we're hoping to have a great New Years! I will make it my resolution to blog more faithfully. :) We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year!

Holiday Update!

Sorry it's been a while! We haven't really been up to a whole lot, so we haven't been updating. We will just fill you in on Thankgiving and our preparations for Christmas.

For Thanksgiving, we ate dinner with my family and spent most of the day there. We volunteered to try our hand at the stuffing because we wanted to make it from scratch. It had all sorts of yummy stuff in it, like butternut squash, onions, garlic, celery, cumin and cornbread stuffing. It turned out perfect! Here is what our creation looked like.




Everyone loved it and said it was a hit! Danny had the idea of putting it in the bundt pan. Good thinkin', babe! :)

We spent most of the rest of Thanksgiving break eating pie and leftovers and watching plenty of football. It was a much needed, relaxing weekend. 
Lately, we've been preparing for Christmas. We had most of our Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving so we didn't have to worry about too much shopping after Thanksgiving. We've put up our tree and wrapped our presents. Our tree is really small, but it fits perfectly into our small apartment. Here are some fun pictures! 
We are pretty excited for Christmas!

Speaking of Christmas gifts, we have to share our AWESOME story with Best Buy. So, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we bought a Canon camera for ourselves for Christmas. We about it for $30 on sale and they told us that the prices were going to change the next day, so we didn't want to risk the price going up. Well, the next day in the Sunday ads, they lower the price another $20 AND included a free camera bag and SD card with the same camera we just bought. So we were kind of mad at ourselves for a bit, but then we called up Best Buy and explained the situation. They said we could come in and get the difference on our purchase. So we go in with the camera and our receipt, and we walk out of there with $20 cash and a free camera bag and SD card. We practically robbed the place! It was great! We love, love, love Best Buy!
Yay for Christmas!
